Album Rating: 5.0

represents a side of Gen X, I guess - particularly Gen X Mancunians - but I got into this (& Scream in general) in 05/06 and fuckin' loved it

only track that really stuck out as "dated" in any capacity to me was Don't Fight It Feel It, but even then that is a banger

I do think I generally prefer Vanishing Point & possibly even XTRMNTR to this one, but those 3 alone have kept the Scream pretty high in my lil list of favorites for a while now

Album Rating: 4.0

Both Vanishing Point and XTRMNTR are much better than this. Screamadelica has some great moments, but is rather a memento of an exciting but long-lost era.

Album Rating: 5.0

Honestly, I don't disagree with any of that

but even then I'd still have it at least at 4-4.5, 'cause damn those highs are high

Album Rating: 4.0

you're probably right, I just listened to it 2 times in a row, it has fantastic moments, really made my day (so far), so a bump could be warranted

Album Rating: 4.5

you just need to do as much ecstasy as they were doing at the time to fully get it, duh

Album Rating: 2.5

This is one of those bands that got their momentum killed by Nirvana, right? Incredibly novel sound, I didn't even notice how southern rock influenced it was. But nevertheless, it doesn't really quite take off as well as you'd expect. It's rather boring a lot of the time, but still props to the band.
